Review on Zyxel NAS326: Personal Cloud Storage [2-Bay] with Remote Access & Media Streaming – Disks Not Included by Momchil Ivanov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

For the purpose that I had in mind, a network-attached storage device (NAS) was required so that I could store crucial files that were shared by multiple individuals in a relatively small office. This NAS takes care of this challenge with flying colors. Because to RAID 1, we were able to ensure that none of our essential data would be lost by installing two 6 terabyte screws in the mirror and transferring all of our information there. Speed: the speed at which it can be worked with in LAN (gigabit) is up to 100Mb/s (depending on the number of small files, etc.), which is comparable to the pace at which a local computer can copy from disk to disk. Conveniences: the administrative control panel operates as expected. Everyone who comments on this page about how antiquated the design is and other such topics deserves to burn in hell. It makes absolutely no difference what kind of design is in the control panel, because you only use it a few times a year, on average. At the same time, there is something called a Zuhelev cloud, which allows you to check on the condition of a piece of iron no matter where you are. You may easily make remote access to the storage from anywhere in the world thanks to the support for FTP and WebDav, among other protocols. Services such as Transmission and Media server, along with many others, are available. Because I do not require any of this, I am unable to provide any specifics. Noise: a reader mentioned in the comments that the screws make a lot of noise. I have two Seagate hard drives, totaling six terabytes, installed in the mirror, and I have not noticed any unusual noises. When the disk is reading or writing data, there is, as expected, a slight rustling sound. However, you won't even notice it and it won't get on your nerves at all. As is customary for people who aren't doing anything, they fall asleep. According to what I've read, the treatment for screw cracking is to flash these screws. My devices have been updated to use the most recent firmware. Total: if you require it as a torrents rocker as well as a media server for a TV set, my evaluation will not be of any assistance to you in this regard. On the other hand, if you need a place to keep vital data that other people can access, investing in a NAS like this is a wise choice. You have the option of purchasing the older edition that comes with 4 discs if the funds are available.

Pros
  • In my experience, this is the only file dump and crucial file archive software that is both quick and offers the best price currently available on the market. Nothing sluggish, freezing, or otherwise lagging happens at any point. Simply turn it on, configure it, and then forget about it.
Cons
  • According to what they write, Zuhel will stop consuming software and firmware in this model going forward. It's a shame. However, in the most recent iteration, everything is functioning perfectly.
